St. Petersburg, Part II

This time, the round up of St. Petersburg, Russia comes from National Geographic Traveler.

Like Daily Candy's previous write up of where to stay, NG also includes Hotel Astoria, "the most stylish and smoothly run hotel in town."

But they also list the Grand Hotel Europe whose "facade and art nouveau interiors have been restored to their original elements."

Located across the way from the Philharmonic, guests are often some of the performers. Rooms start at $350, and that's a bargain.

Another grand hotel, the Grand Hotel Emerald, is a little more affordable with rooms starting at $250 and includes a complimentary breakfast buffet.

The Eliseev Palace wins the award for luxe and grandeur. The hotel has 29 rooms and suites and all of them have modern amenities and then some. Like the hydro-massage baths and butler service. Rooms from $460.

Coming this summer is Moika 22 from Kempinski hotels. It's described as a "neoclassical palace" with 197 rooms near the State Hermitage Museum (the art museum that houses more than 3 million works.) But it's also gonna be pricey with rooms starting at $410.
